Chapter Thirteen In-Depth Conversation

Huang Mao’s sad eyes made my back feel hairy.

It was difficult to speak again along the way, and Suotian didn't speak again.

His eyes signaled me to go back and talk.

There were very few walking corpses on the road, so our car went smoothly and we soon returned to Li Jiaqiang and his family downstairs.

Li Jiaqiang hinted that he would park the car downstairs and asked for a simple way to start it (the car did not have a key).

This old fox! I couldn't help cursing in my heart again, I couldn't take advantage of him at all.

If he had let them know about the two cars at the alley before, he would have been shameless enough to get rid of them now.

Suotian generously parked the car directly in front of their yard and carefully taught him how to start the car.

After that, we didn't go back home but went straight into their yard.

We couldn't find bottled water today, so we both have to discuss the issue of water sources in the future.

There are so many people there, almost everyone from the first to fourth floors is occupied.

Looking at the corridors where people were coming and going, a few soft voices and laughter could be heard from time to time, and I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.

It’s great to be alive. How long has it been since you felt this kind of atmosphere of people coming and going?

A group that takes in so many people shouldn't be too bad.

Unknowingly, my favorable impression of them has improved a lot.

Li Jianguo is their temporary leader and lives on the fourth floor.

The living room layout is exactly the same as our home. Sitting on the sofa, Li Jianguo called over a few people who seemed to be the central figures of their team.

The eldest sister from last time was also there. I remember her surname was Sun.

Sister Sun nodded and smiled at me, and I smiled and nodded at her.

"Is there no drinkable water in the bottled water plant?" Li Jianguo asked with some disappointment after learning the general news from Li Jiaqiang.

Suotian nodded: "There should be a lot of people living there for a while, and they have all seen the situation inside. None of us can guarantee that the water is still clean."

"It's just not sure. Maybe I can drink it. I should bring some back."

I couldn't help but find it funny: "Mr. Li, when you bring it back, will you drink the water yourself to see if it's clean? Or are you going to find a poor guy to be a test subject?"

Li Jianguo was stunned and quickly defended: "No, I didn't mean that."

"Uncle Li, if we take the risk of drinking that water, it would be more convenient to drink tap water directly. It won't stop anyway. It is also a risk, and we have not confirmed that tap water is indeed contagious. Sister, they are doing this to ensure the safety of each of us.

You dare to bring back that water without permission." Yang Yang's words were very polite and naturally gave Li Jianguo a step up.

I glanced at him appreciatively, "Brother, that's awesome."

After all, Li Jianguo is several decades old and is very good at observing people's emotions. After hearing Yang Yang's words, he immediately followed the lead: "Yes, yes, you really need to be careful... I really didn't think carefully enough."

Sister Sun said calmly: "Now we have to think about where to get the water we drink in the future."

"For the time being, the bottled water in the scattered small supermarkets and convenience stores in the county can sustain us for a while. But..." After a pause, I said what I was worried about.

"Obviously we are not the only survivors. The corpses of the zombies on the road outside can prove that since they ran to the road to kill the zombies, there must be a reason. All I can think of is that they are also looking for food.

In other words, the food in supermarkets in the county is currently supplying us and countless other people at the same time. At present, we may only be short of water, and soon we may even be short of food."

"But how come the convenience store we went to this morning was not touched?" Li Jiaqiang interrupted me.

"Maybe they ignored me. After all, the store is very small."

Sister Sun thought for a while: "In that case, the things in the supermarket can't last us long?"

"Yeah." I nodded.

"Then let's go out quickly, find a supermarket that hasn't been searched by them, and transport everything back." Li Guoqiang suggested with a frown.

Sister Sun shook her head in denial: "Lao Li, how can we be so selfish and not leave a way for others to survive? And... even if we transport all those things back, how long will it be enough for us to eat? Don't forget, there is still not enough water."

"Then what do you think we should do? Can we just wait to die like this?"

"Lao Li, don't get excited. The matter is not that serious. At worst, we can just risk looking for him somewhere far away. It only takes two hours to drive to the city and back." Sister Sun comforted Li Guoqiang kindly.

"You can call a few people tomorrow to search the surrounding supermarkets first, leave some things for others, and bring the rest back. It should last for a long time." Suotian suggested.

In order to prevent them from asking us for help again, I quickly added: "Suotian is right. The few people who followed today also know how to act and how to kill the walking corpses. You can go out and search at any time."

I emphasized the words 'you' and 'myself', I believe anyone who is not a fool can understand what I mean.

After hearing this, Li Guoqiang smiled politely: "Speaking of which, I am really grateful to all of you today for helping us with everything without holding anything. How about this... When you go back later, find today

I took two boxes of instant noodles with me. It was not a wasted trip at least."

"Thank you then." I smiled and nodded. He was right. After all, it was not in vain. The drinks I took from the store today are also with them. I will have to remember to take them away later.

Later, they briefly mentioned that regarding the shelter shown on TV, their internal opinions were mixed. Some agreed to take the risk, some took the family with them, and those who were unwilling to take the risk suggested maintaining the current situation.

We didn't want to get involved in their argument, so after saying goodbye, we took our things and the two boxes of instant noodles sent by Li Jianguo and returned home.

I almost vomited up the little food I ate before going out in the morning. When I got home, I sat down on the sofa and didn't want to move. There was a contradictory feeling of hunger and nausea in my stomach.

I couldn't tell whether I wanted to eat or if I wanted to go to the toilet and vomit.

I didn't feel much at Li Jianguo's place just now, but now I'm back home and relaxing, the scenes I saw in the bottled water factory keep replaying in my mind.

I guess I won’t be able to eat anything meaty for a long time in the future…

After all, Yangyang is a boy, and his resistance in this aspect is still stronger than mine. He went home, changed into clean clothes, and acted as if nothing had happened, and ate cookies with Rongrong.

Meijing and Shen Xuechenfeng have tidied up the house and made it look brand new. This is my only comfort at the moment... Even if the world ends, I still have to live comfortably!

Yangyang briefly explained the matter to them. Basically, they couldn't find water, there were fewer zombies outside, and there were other survivors searching everywhere for food.

"In that case, do we have to store more things at home?" Shen Feng asked Suo Tian and I after hearing this.

"Well, we need to prepare more food. If the outside is cleared by Li Jianguo and other survivors, we won't live in too much embarrassment." Suo Tian replied while leaning on the sofa.

"But at present, the most serious problem is the water problem. Do we really want to take the risk of drinking tap water?" Yangyang also turned around and asked.

"Tap water is definitely not for drinking." I glanced at him and accidentally glanced at the two boxes of instant noodles piled behind him, and a white light flashed in my head!

I immediately thought of something and couldn't help but be overjoyed and said quickly: "Warehouse! We have always ignored it! There is a warehouse in the mall. There must be a lot of milk, drinks, and mineral water in the warehouse. We just need to find it before others. , if you transport more, you won’t need to worry about water problems anymore.”

"Hey! It's true, why didn't any of us think of it before." After Shen Feng finished speaking, he gave me a thumbs up.

"I briefly checked the warehouse door before. I couldn't open the lock on the door. Without the key, I can't get in." Suotian leaned on the back of the sofa and cruelly interrupted me with a few words. Overjoyed.

"Can't we just find the key?" Meijing said innocently.

"Where to find it... We don't even know where the key is." I was a little discouraged.

"I know!" After Meijing said this, everyone in the room stared at her.

"Do you know where the key is? Where is it?" Shen Feng asked.

"Sister Meijing, please stop making trouble. Brother and the others are discussing very serious matters." Shen Xue tugged on Meijing's sleeve, thinking she was joking.

Meijing looked at Shen Xue strangely and said, "I really know where it is."

"Where?" Suo Tian asked.

"In the manager's office."

"how do you know?"

"I used to work as a cashier there." Meijing glanced at me and said: "Chen Yang, you paid many times and I settled the bill for you, but you didn't know me at the time and didn't pay attention."

"Are you sure the key is in the manager's room?" I don't want to recall whether Meijing ever settled the bill for me before.

"Of course I'm sure. My friend is the one who loads the goods. When she opens the warehouse door, she always goes to the manager's office to get the key. I've seen it with my own eyes many times. The key is in the drawer on the left side of the office."

After Meijing finished speaking, Suotian sat upright on the sofa, smiled at her and praised: "You have been a big help."

"No... no way... I didn't do anything..." Meijing suddenly had two blushes on her face and started to stutter when she spoke.

My heart froze... Looking at Meijing's suddenly shy face, I felt a little tight in my chest.

Shaking my head and putting aside the thoughts that were about to come to my mind, I smiled at Meijing and said, "You haven't done anything. Look at how clean the house has been cleaned up by you and Shen Xue. What's more, you provided a Such useful news.”

"Auntie, I also wiped the table." Zheng Rongrong, who was standing next to her, poked her head out of Yangyang's arms and asked me for credit.

"Okay~ Xiao Rongrong is awesome~ I'll give you the orange juice that Auntie brought back today as a reward, okay?"

"Hehehehe..." The little guy grinned sheepishly. Hearing that there was orange juice in the bag he brought back, his two little eyes kept looking towards the bag.

Rongrong's cute look made everyone in the room laugh. Shen Xue went over and took him out of Yangyang's arms, laughing and scolding: "You're such a little kid, you only know how to eat! Look at your messy shouting, it's obviously my sister." Brothers, you call one brother and the other aunt."

"Haha, she is still young, what does she know?" I waved my hand at Shen Xue, telling her to be careful not to hurt Rongrong with her hands and feet.

His eyes accidentally glanced at Meijing, who was sitting aside and listening to everyone talking and laughing, but her eyes were looking at Suotian...
